My Shelter

Kamál (Perfection), 18 Bahá (Splendor) 177 B.E. Monday, April 6, 2020

"All praise be to Thee, O my God, inasmuch as Thou hast adorned the world with the splendour of the dawn following the night wherein was born the One Who heralded the Manifestation of Thy transcendent sovereignty, the Dayspring of Thy divine Essence and the Revelation of Thy supreme Lordship. I beseech Thee, O Creator of the heavens and Fashioner of names, to graciously aid those who have sheltered beneath the shadow of Thine abounding mercy and have raised their voices amidst the peoples of the world for the glorification of Thy Name."

Baha'u'llah

I shelter within the shadow
of the divine,
attempting to glorify His Name
and to proclaim
the Glory of God.
